Chapter 40: Everyday
Looking at the seal in her hand, Li Wanqing began an inner monologue accompanied by beautiful music.
Two years of diving life in the mountains have made her reborn. However, the grievances and hatred suffered in the family over the past years have not been forgotten. She was thinking about revenge all the time, especially as she cultivated harder, the idea of revenge became more and more uncontrollable.
However, when the senior who saved her from fire and water handed over the family seal to her, when she did have the power to destroy her family in the palm of her hand, the idea of revenge faded.
Such a family that is keen on infighting, said to be second-rate, all rely on the shadow of their ancestors. The younger generation who are jealous and mediocre, the elder generation who are cruel and ruthless, and the generation of elders who do not distinguish between right and wrong, such a family cannot even talk about entering the stream, even if there is no external influence, sooner or later it will die in internal strife.
Although she has just gotten rid of the shadow of the past and officially embarked on the right path of cultivating immortals, she is still far, far away from crushing a second-rate family with her hands, but looking at the seal in her hand, she can no longer regard revenge as a major event in her life.
That kind of family is no longer worth her wasting too much effort.
The things that need her attention now are one for cultivation and the other for ......
Looking at the mysterious woman in front of her, Li Wanqing quickly made a decision, she grabbed the seal, and then threw it towards the distant mountain stream with all her might.
"That's it, let them live, live to see me ascend step by step, so high that they can't even look up." After speaking, Li Wanqing let out a long sigh, picked up the cultivation secret book that made her reborn, and asked, "In the past two years, I have a few problems with cultivation......
Hearing this, Li Chaolu finally showed a satisfied expression.
"That's right, first-class talents should have first-class vision, and those who are stumped by a second-rate family can only be regarded as second-rate. Finally, I would like to give you a gift to answer the question you've been wanting to ask for the past two years but didn't dare to ask. That's right, it's not who I am, but who I really am......"
As he spoke, Li Chaolu stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, removing the illusion on his face, revealing his true appearance.
However, before the audience could see clearly, the stage dimmed, and the second act of the musical, which ended here, left infinite room for reverie.
There was applause and more chatter.
People can't help but wonder, who is this worldly master who saves the heroine and the fire and water?
Being able to acquire a medium-sized sword sect at will, annihilate a second-rate family, and own an entire mountain and river, such a person is rare on the Xiangzhou Continent, if it is not a completely original character of Sanshengshi, then the role played by Li Chaolu is simply about to come out.
However, if it was her, when would she be so kind to care about the lives and deaths of others? Although she is not a big traitor, but the kind and fraternity in the usual sense has absolutely nothing to do with her, and that person seems to be inhumane.
——
And in the midst of the discussion, the third act begins.
The protagonist of this scene is Li Chaolu, and at the beginning, she sits in the middle of a magnificent palace, like a king on top. However, the woman didn't like the atmosphere of hugging in front of and behind, so there were no civil and military ministers in the palace, only official documents that were stacked like mountains.
The woman processed the official documents very quickly, as if she signed her name and wrote the instructions without looking at it, but even so, it took a long time to complete all the official business.
Li Chaolu stretched his waist, showed a sarcastic smile, and stretched out his hand to ask his subordinates to bring the food, but after tasting it, he pushed the dishes and chopsticks out with a frown.
Although the dishes were beautiful at a glance, they clearly did not meet her satisfaction.
"Tell the kitchen that they won't be using tomorrow."
After speaking, the woman got up and took a step, and crossed the space in one step, and came to a green water and green mountains.
There is a bamboo room in the mountains, and three plates of side dishes and a bowl of somen noodles are quietly placed on the table, although the ingredients are common in the mountains, but the ingenuity and sincerity of the chef make up for the singleness of the ingredients, making the meal very suitable for her taste. In other words, the mind that is invested in the meal is more appetizing than the meal itself.
After eating, the woman used a spell to hide her figure, and came to the bottom of a waterfall in the mountains, only to see Li Wanqing concentrating on absorbing the essence of the water of the mountain spring to refine her divine sense, after some homework, Li Wanqing did not rush to collect her divine sense, but seriously knelt down in the distance, thanking the kind person who saved her from the abyss two years ago.
Li Wanqing didn't see Li Chaolu, kneeling and grateful, just a routine after practicing every day, and every word she said was from the bottom of her heart.
This sincerity made Li Chaolu enjoy it extraordinarily.
At this time, Li Chaolu sang his inner monologue in a low voice.
For those in high positions, power and wealth are not rare, and the most rare thing is the word sincerity. Although there are many supporters around her, they all have their own demands and even desires, and most of the people who really love her and support her unconditionally are stupid and loyal, and what she hates the most is stupid people.
A person like Li Wanqing who is spiritual and desperate is simply rare. So in the past two years, unconsciously, Li Chaolu began to pay attention to her growth more and more frequently, and finally decided to give her a test.
If you can pass this test, then ......
Then, the scene on the stage shifts back to the end of the second act.
Li Chaolu showed his true face.
Similar to the expectations of countless audiences off the stage, it is a more beautiful and mature face, although it is quite different from the real Zhao Shenlu, but everyone knows that this character is alluding to Zhao Shenlu.
Seeing this face, Li Wanqing's eyes widened unexpectedly.
Then, Li Wanqing neither bowed to the benefactor like ordinary people, nor did she make a fuss, but showed a surprised smile: "Sure enough, it's you!" I said, it must not be someone else's...... Thank you for being willing to let me know who you really are. Next, although you may not need it, I will use this life to repay your kindness. ”
Such a reaction made Li Chaolu extremely satisfied.
"In that case, make me the plate of peanuts at noon again."
"Good!" Li Wanqing smiled and rushed to the bamboo room.
The plot of the third act also really unfolds.
Unlike the bitterness and hatred of the first act and the twists and turns of the second act, the theme of the third act is the everyday.
Li Wanqing practiced in the mountains, and Li Chaolu came to visit from time to time, although she only said three or two sentences every time, the relationship between the two was changing little by little.
In the fourth year of Li Wanqing's entry into the mountain, the two had occasionally eaten together, although most of the dinner table was Li Wanqing talking, Li Chaolu listened silently, and occasionally Li Wanqing asked questions about cultivation, and Li Chaolu answered simply...... But very occasionally, Li Chaolu will also say a few words about her life.
Most of them are spicy sarcasm about the people around them, but between these words, the role played by Li Chaolu is becoming more and more plump.
The audience in the audience couldn't help but start talking to each other.
That person, like the actor on stage, is actually flesh and blood? People always thought that she was cold-blooded and ruthless, and anyone looked like a god overlooking ants, so she would have joys, sorrows, and sorrows when she was unknown?
And the questions in the hearts of the audience were raised by the actors on stage.
"I didn't expect you to be so different from the rumors, in the rumors I heard before, you don't eat the fireworks of the world at all."
Li Chaolu smiled sarcastically: "If the cooks around you are also stupid, you can also become non-cannibalistic." ”
Li Wanqing asked again: "Why me?" ”
In fact, many people know that no matter how cold-blooded and ruthless people are, there will always be weak places in their hearts, and they need to have a safe haven that can make their hearts stable.
However, how can this Li Wanqing in the play become a safe haven for that person?
"Because you're lucky to be in the right place." Li Chaolu said.
"Just luck?" Li Wanqing was a little disappointed.
"Or else? In terms of talent, cultivation, and fanaticism for me, you can't be in front of me, and my personal maid is even better than you. But you're lucky to be there for me just when I need to rest, so it's you. ”
"It turns out that it's just luck......"
"Isn't luck enough? Most of a person's achievements in life come from luck. The natural understanding of birth, the family environment, and the help of nobles in the process of growing up...... Either one is a matter of luck. The world is so big, you can only control yourself. Even those so-called true love couples, most of them have not really met the perfect partner, and the birth of love is just a coincidence, so that they can meet each other at the right time and experience. ”
Hearing Li Chaolu's last analogy, Li Wanqing couldn't help blushing and had to pick up her rice bowl to cover her expression.
But this kind of cover-up, of course, is ineffective both for the characters in the play and for the audience off the field.
At the same time, the light on the stage dimmed, and the daily life of the third act ended.
During the short break, one always feels as if the smell of citrus is beginning to diffuse around you.
